I would guess holes through the firewall and floor without a good seal.

Negative. Nobody has been able to measure CO levels above expected background levels. They did however start a service program for customers complaining of exhaust smells, and they published a bulletin for Police Interceptors to to ID and fix improper body modification.

Latest news story now mentions it as "police modified" Explorers.

Not much CO if the catalytic converter is working.

Door latches very similar to that design have been used on pretty much ALL Ford US products for well over 10 years. Sounds like it was "cost reduced".

I have a 2016 Explorer Sport. No recall, and I've never experienced any smells etc.
